I have a question about sourcing too. Would you ever create a completely
separate source for a census entry, death record, etc. that you know is going
to be a source for multiple people and fields? Sometimes I find that I have
not transcribed something properly (handwriting, poor scan, whatever) and then
I have to go back to each person and field that I used that source for and make
the corrections one at a time. Or is there a faster way to do that? I'm
thinking maybe I should create a brand new source for each entry but then I'd
end up with thousands of sources....
This is probably one of the unresolvable issues of Legacy. Academic honesty
would require that you cite to everything. However, very few of us want to turn
a hobby into a job. I wish that Legacy would have developed a method to save
the source clipboard entries permanently as model citations. Then if changes
are needed you could change the model and have every citation updated.
Anyhow, I just submitted a suggestion to Legacy.
Happy Mother's Day all. Now it's time to make pancakes.
